    Can somebody promote Tesla without owning one ?

    You probably shouldn't promote using someone else's link unless you want to ruin your reputation. What's your average service time now compared to 3-years ago, have you noticed a difference supercharging on roadtrips now that 3's and Y's are on the road? How has mobile service changed...

    Supercharger - Olathe, KS

    The Hy-vee at 151st St in Olathe is pretty much all directional parking as well. They assume everyone wants to pull in nose 1st. That loacation provides four ChargePoint/KCPL Level 2 charging spots for free which is super easy for a leaf to pull in, but annoying for a tesla. Hopefully they...

    Divest an entity and continue to run-up massive losses over the next few years, once the car is available receipt the asset into the entity. It's really trump 101

    Thanks for your assistance on telling me how the system works by saying "you should just stop posting." I think a lot understand how the system works and if you cared about the company you would encourage transparency.

    The more you post it becomes apparent you are a bully, versus anyone that advocates for transparency and truth.

    Are you worried, someone will actually review the list?
  7. Barnes

    Founders Reservations

    yeah.. that's totally legit.. I mean why continue to use one code on your channel, when you can just rinse and repeat with new codes and get more roadsters.

    Look at the list and ask your own questions. There are numerous with 50+ per month in nov and dec with no previous referrals. Do you recognize those names?
  9. Barnes

    Founders Reservations

    someone could say, I'll give you $100k if you use my code and get 50 referrals... but whatever the system is broke regardless due to manipulators

    number 1 in the semi referrals this week, is number 1 for all referrals overall for cars... how is that not relevant? If you say that is gamed, what makes you think the other has more integrity?

    I'm just looking at the site referenced "possibly not the facts you seem to know" but the activity seems very questionable. Do you agree?

    you can look at the tesla semi race referrals and see similar trends

    older accounts would have history
  14. Barnes

    Founders Reservations

    way to defend them, because the old accounts show referral history... so you are saying they new top people that nobody was aware of the last few years, then all of a sudden they referred more than anyone?
  15. Barnes

    Founders Reservations

    just look at all the accounts with 0 history for years then 50+ referrals the last few months
  16. Barnes

    Founders Reservations

    so do you agree, it look like impropriety?
  17. Barnes

    Founders Reservations

    If I was Elon, and looked at the program metrics I would have canceled it as well. There is no way to justify multiple accounts, the top referrer was only active for the last 2-months? Um, no that's an alt for another and widely known.
  18. Barnes

    Founders Reservations

    I know a few that asked others to use their code once they got their roadster referral, and the problem propagated... seems like it propagated more based on that list
  19. Barnes

    It's not zero sum for people with legit referrals, I respect your site what do you think? Does it look weird?

    Roadster wheels

    Personally, I think the prototype uses dymag's wheels. Same 7-spoke design with a carbon fiber barrel BOXSTROM Auto Wheels - Faster: Stronger: Better what do you all think?
  21. Barnes

    Roadster wheels

    The roadster prototype has carbon fiber barrels, TSL doesn't offer that. Would be nice if they did.

    Define hack? would a hack be telling someone else use my referral code and if you get me 50-referrals in the month I'll give you $100k?
  23. Barnes

    Founders Reservations

    I guess it comes down to the spirit of the policy, if they said 2-vehicles per person and the same youtube channel starts new accounts for spouses and any other significant other I would consider that not in the spirit of the policy or helping tesla.
  24. Barnes

    Founders Reservations

    So, when you achieve your referral quota for the 2-roadsters; you buy a cpo under a new LLC then use that code to get more roadsters? Do you agree that looking at that list raises a red flag?
  25. Barnes

    Founders Reservations

    maybe it's all legit, but as someone with no horse in this race, it appears odd there are so many with 0 referral history then then suddenly refer 50+ a month in nov and/or dec maybe it's all legit maybe it's not, but as someone with no horse in this race, it appears odd there are so many with...

    look at number 1 on the list and how much CO2 they "saved"
  27. Barnes

    Founders Reservations

    wow, lots of people being shady and creating new accounts in the leaderboard. No wonder they are canceling the referral program. Look at of them with no referrals then suddenly 50+ a month for the last few months

    Tesla P85D CPO for $51K

    without ludicrous a model S p85d is 3.2, p90d is 3.1

    Tesla P85D CPO for $51K

    I may be selling our P85D soon if you are still interested. 5yjsa1h28efp66732, basically every option except rear kid seats and glass roof. Has P+ shocks and the front and rear recaros
  30. Barnes

    Buyer beware. Buying a CPO Tesla feels like a SCAM.

    What's their lease return policy? Never leased one, so are they charging the leasee for all that damage? I don't understand why they would even take that car back into inventory in that condition unless the leasee had to pay numerous penalties or an installment/cash owner traded it in well...

    Some Colorful Suggestions

    I like the old deep blue metallic as it's almost black on overcast days but obviously blue on sunny days. My wife likes the new metallic blue cause it always looks blue, so to each their own. Regardless of the color choices offered for the roadster, I'll end-up wrapping. I just wish we had...

    FS 2014 P85D+

    I didn't say it, but I certainly wouldn't count on being able to upgrade anymore. I remember the option being available in the online shop until about a year ago when it was removed (required a 5k deposit and the promise of future installation). After that people had to scramble to find SC's...

    FS 2014 P85D+

    Nice looking car, one minor correct LTE connectivity wasn't standard in 2014 it was 3g and the LTE would have been an upgrade at least a year later. Good luck with the sale.

    So I gave up on the Model 3... and bought a Model S

    oh yeah, I forgot to ask.... can you will me your keyboard ;-)

    So I gave up on the Model 3... and bought a Model S

    The textile seats are great. Good choice, way better than the leather or vegan options.

    Unicorns

    No Luda, that's why I was considering the upgrade but if the value is that bad I'll just keep driving it. Sales adviser said she may able to get the price up "beyond the algorithm" once I submit photos, has anyone had luck with that? Regardless photos submitted, so we will see what they say...

    Unicorns

    Well I'll add this for consideration to the list of the rare I guess... I have a P85D (Dec 2014 build) with P+ suspension dampers, recaro seats in the rear it seems, "blue paint" which is the very deep metallic blue (no longer offered but a phenomenal color), solid body color roof (no longer...

    Are these actually rare? I just assumed they were next gen seats?

    Why did you remove the "You want it. I can probably get it" from your avatar "Parts Counter" is just as shady.

    Referral Signature Matte Black HPWC Delivery Date

    Correct, anyone that has an open referral can see the latest date there, no use calling as they retrieve the same date. I've watched the date change numerous times as it keeps getting delayed.

    Garage Sale! AKA Operation Honey Due

    Another defense for selling new in the box parts at a discount? Right to repair legislation addresses what you mentioned, however it doesn't enable a 3rd party to sell a part below tesla's cost. So, are you ready to disclose how you do that? I'm all for right to repair and publishing open...

    Tesla identifies the source of their cobalt, but you cannot identify where a new in the box tesla part comes from?

    Garage Sale! AKA Operation Honey Due

    You should tell that story, and try to not use the word impropriety in any sentence. The source of the parts and the seller of the parts ultimately takes advantage of existing Customers or Shareholders. You cannot sell "virtual tesla parts" for less than the cost when advertised as new in the...

    Seems odd to me as well, it appears someone joins the forum then posts about all they have to sell 1-month later. They say "You want it. I can probably get it" with their avatar. Yet when anyone asks a simple question of how they get it; they get all defensive. My 2-cents from an impartial...
